Dont't want to take a Ferry?
Get Your Safe Sunscreen and UPF Protecting Sunwear.
In 2019, the legislature of the US Virgin Islands passed a bill that bans the sale and usage of sunscreens that marine scientists have identified as possibly harmful to corals and other marine life. Specifically, sunscreens that contain Oxybenzone, Octinoxate and Octocrylene.
Check your sunblock’s ingredients. Learn More at NOAA Article on Sunscreen and Corals
A good choice for sun protection is using Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) sunwear, including a long-sleeve shirt and a wide-brimmed hat with a neck flap. This will protect your upper body, and you can focus the sunscreen on the exposed parts.
